Paper Handling Precautions

❏ Read the instruction sheets supplied with the paper.

❏ Fan and align the edges of the paper before loading. Do not fan or curl photo paper. Doing so may damage the

printable side.

❏ If the paper is curled, atten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on curled

paper may cause paper jams and smears on the printout.

❏ Do not use paper that is wavy, torn, cut, folded, damp, too thick, too thin, or paper that has stickers stuck to it.

Using these types of paper causes paper jams and smears on the printout.

❏ Make sure you are using long-grain paper. If you are not sure what type of paper you are using, check the paper

packaging or contact the manufacturer to conrm the paper specications.

Ink Cartridge Handling Precautions

Read the following instructions before replacing ink cartridges.

Handling precautions

❏ Store ink cartridges at normal room temperature and keep them away from direct sunlight.

❏ Epson recommends using the ink cartridge before the date printed on the package.

❏ For best results, use up ink cartridge within six months of opening the package.

❏ Aer bringing an ink cartridge inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at

least three hours before using it.

❏ Do not touch the sections shown in the illustration. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.

❏ Install all ink cartridges; otherwise you cannot print.

❏ Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may damage the printer.

❏ Do not turn o the printer during ink charging. If the ink charging is incomplete, you may not be able to print.

User's Guide

Replacing Ink Cartridges and Other Consumables

❏ Do not leave the printer with the ink cartridges removed; otherwise, ink remaining in the print head nozzles

may dry out and you may not be able to print.

❏ If you need to remove an ink cartridge temporarily, make sure you protect the ink supply area from dirt and

dust. Store the ink cartridge in the same environment as the printer. Because the ink supply port is equipped with a valve designed to contain the release of excess ink, there is no need to supply your own covers or plugs.

❏ Removed ink cartridges may have ink around the ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink on the

surrounding area when removing the cartridges.

Replacing Ink Cartridges and Other Consumables

Replacing a Maintenance Box

In some print cycles a very small amount of surplus ink may be collected in the maintenance box. To prevent ink leakage from the maintenance box, the printer is designed to stop printing when the absorbing capacity of the maintenance box has reached its limit. Whether and how oen this is required will vary according to the number of pages you print, the type of material that you print and the number of cleaning cycles that the printer performs. Replace the maintenance box when you are promoted to do so. e Epson Status Monitor, your LCD, or lights on the control panel will advise you when this part needs replacing. e need for replacement of the box does not mean that your printer has ceased to operate in accordance with its specications. e Epson warranty does not cover the cost of this replacement. It is a user-serviceable part.
